I need to get this 65hp merc outboard off the mount in order to clean out the pivot tube where the motor swivels on. The motor wont turn side to side. How do I go about removing it?
My friend just got a 1970 starcraft with a 65hp merc on it.
The problem: His 65hp outboard wont turn. We took off the cable and the cable moves free when you turn the wheel. So the problem is in where the motor swivels on the bracket. We added grease into the zerk fitting and grease came out...
My friend just got a 1970 starcraft and the steering will barley turn. I can turn it if I have someone turn the wheel while I turn the motor by hand but its really hard to turn. The steering has one cable that leads into a tube that slides back and forth. I am going to disconnect the cable...
